“When I initially signed up to teach in the UK I had no idea where I wanted to live or work. Coming from a small country town in Australia, I wanted to be close to London and major airports but still have the countryside at my doorstep. It wasn’t a hard decision to move to High Wycombe after talking to Nav. Initially I thought I wanted to work supply, but after listening to his words of wisdom, I accepted a full time position – he knew what I wanted before I did! Any question I had, whether it was about curriculum, the school or merely about the UK in general, I rang and Nav would go above and beyond. Cliche as it sounds, my time working for Teach In in Bucks has been the best time of my life.” Daisy Green
